65.2: Invited Paper: Technologies for High Quality TV Image on PDPs

For the improvement of TV image quality on plasma displays (PDPs), one of the most important technologies is video signal processing. The video signal processing shows its highest performance, when both the device characteristics and the signal processing are optimized to each other. Several techniques, i.e. noise reduction, signal format conversion, edge enhancement and gradation are developed and optimized for PDP with consideration of its device characteristics. The developed video signal processing shows high image quality in terms of video SN, contrast, resolution, color and gradation of the image.
